    Hey what's up? thought i'd give your track a review, seing as how you tried to listen to mine... (the link is up by the way)

     

    wow.... kewl intro

     

    i like the flanger effects

     

    the: break around 2:45 w/shuffled bass was cool

     

    some cool pitch sliding 5:00

     

    the ending seemed abrupt, maybe you should try to fix it

     

    the rest of it was, as you said, dark fuckin' madness

    I miss the acid-didgeridoo sounds that are the hallmark of "Twisted"

    why not real didjeridoo? :ph34r::unsure:<_<

    But ehm.... yeah for me, not that i remember anything .... way before my time (ie: too young to know what it was, im 17 now).... i guess i miss the odd spacey samples from movies you think you've heard of, lol the spacey melodies, the electric spiral 303s.... and the love :P

    Geez... i see all this stuff about all their releases... noone mentioned the dionysiac release... easily a favourite realease.... d'n'b/goa... and even though lots hated it.... I loved critical mass.... it just had this funky vibe to it..... also, kalika was a neat one (can remember if it was a release or part of a compo)....

    What's the rest of the album like?

    It's really good, written in DD5.1. if your into other forms of electronic music... ie:techno (there's a crystal method track) ... there is one cheesy track, "you can run" whcih seems a little too pop-ish. and a remake of "A Recurring Dream Within A Dream", where he recites edgar alan poe's "the raven" through a vocoder ;). maybe I should put up a review ;)....

    how old were you when you first

    I think I was 16 or 17 (1997 or 1998) when a guy gave me a software called Fasttracker II, he said you can make music with it so I began to experiment with it on a 486/100mhz :ph34r:

    I was always curious how music and sounds are made. I didn't know nothing about synths, music theory or equipment. :D

    In 2001 I was still using Fastracker II and I finished my last track in Fasttracker II called "Anything is Possible", heavily Astral Projection influenced oldschool goatrance (they were my popstarts... :lol: ), I uploaded it here: http://www.mytempdir.com/1117337

    Than came the VST world... B)

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: thumbs up, good stuff!!!

     

    trackers kick ass ;)

    1) What programs you use, and any hardware instruments, midi controllers, etc (PC Specs too)?

    FLstudio5/jeskola buzz

    1.5ghz 448 megs/ram

     

    2) On average, how long does it take you to build and finish a Song?

    nowadays, months

     

    3) Which parts do you find tedious when building your track (if any), if it pattern sequencing, automation, etc?

    one timer effects, repetitivity, unchaoticity, in a multigenre effort, making that perfect transition, from idm/dnb/ambient to psy ;)

     

    4) Where did the inspiration come from to start producing music?

    My cousin makes music too... :)

     

    5) AND Your favourite style to produce?

    idm, psy, d'n'b, ambient, experimental (especially combinations of one or two of those mentioned!!)

    hey whats up? i thought this would be kind of a neat thing.

    it would be to find out how old everyone was when they first started using software sequencers, and trackers and such...

     

    if you must know, I had my first dose of loopy fruits when i was 12, i d-loaded the demo and tried making stuff, i later found out that i couldn't save, so, i started tracking when i was about 13, then slowly, when i got some money, i bought fruityloops (as flstudio).

     

    ehm.... yeah, i'd like to hear from the rest of you... :rolleyes:

     

    i think its really cool...

    Basslines

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    well... for me, whats worked recently, Ill play one random monotonous note throughout the whole pattern, then, change each note for some neat variation, some slides and stuff (keep in mind, this is for minimal). add a bit of echo delay (if needed), EQing out the harsh freqs and boosting alot of the <90hz. I do not use alot of compression on it, maybe alittle on the percs, and maybe the kick... phasers can be fun too...

     

    also, there is a lot of kick, and bass hits at the same time... if the bass ducks out from the kick (in FL, peak controllers and such)... but usually, its just a matter of EQing the kick and bass properly...

     

    To make my other leads, I build from the bass up... :P

     

    thanks 11:11.... ;) (its an Alex Gray painting, he paints alot of this stuff: http://alexgrey.com/)

     

    BASSJUNKIES ALL THE WAY!!!!!! -_-:):ph34r:

    if your on fruityloops (or flstudio <_< dumb name imo, i still use it)... i highly recommend using TS-404 almost all my basslines come from there... eq'ed properly, it makes pretty solid bass

     

    muon tau is top stuff (i haven't really used it alot, doesn't have that out of the box power that TS-404 has :P).... i definately recommend it, though...

     

    also try out evm bassline, or, for extra squelch, check out squeekbox 2 (from fatass plugins), most of this stuff is free... but pretty good...
